Aw, this is my childhood right here :-)

Not most, but a lot.

This is awesome. The new one sucks donkey balls.

so they have to put it on a fucking cartoon

this is cute. Had it been made in a more commercial style it wouldnt be as good. Since having limited animation explained to me I am more aware of the non moving parts on screen.

Lol

Why all classic cartoons look so great even today, 60 or 70 years after?
Because they were made for the Big Screen- they had to be funny and witty and full of rythm (without much talking!), so that the audience would get excited and not bored.
TV screwed everything: TV cartoons are generaly flat, repeating, full of talking. The reason is the medium itself: you're more relaxed in front of telly, less focused, doing other things at the same time,not paying much attention anyway...

you can blame the same company that made this cartoon for that though can't you, UPA with their limited animation methods that hanna barbera latched on to. Seriously, it's not all bad on TV, there has been some awesome cartoons in recent years, Samurai Jack, Flapjack, Spongebob. Animated films too, look at Belle Ville rendezvous. I agree though, that in a lot of ways they became lazy, but thats the product of the medium, it has to be produced quickly and efficiently.

I don't think old cartoons were so expensive -it' rather a matter of story, rythm and direction. Of course there are beautiful cartoons today (especially in computer animation, which attracts- as a new medium- more talented and experimentary creators), but they' re like a colorful drop in a sea of gray mass-production.

This was made for tv and they used limited animation techniques to save money. Bugs Bunny and stuff like that was the stuff produced for the theater.
